Does anyone else find it creepy that we didn't exist at all before we were born!

I like to think that the entire history of the universe happened purely to get to the point in time where I was created and I am the culmination of the creation of time, space and anything else. So sorry guys, but when I die, it's all over.
Oh me too. I have pretty much the same theory. That this world was just created for me, and nothing before i was born or after i die actually happened. It is all made up.

Well you're either both wrong or one of you is right and the other doesn't exist and is only hear to cast doubt over the others belief and make it seem not so strange

I guess it's up to you two to figure out who

Being conceived is like being demoted at work. You were a scratch in your old mans balls and a pain in the guts once a month in you old ladies lower gut. Conception halved you. Think yourself lucky though, you could of been unemployed and washed down the toilet.

This is why I'm sometimes confused about why people are so terrified of ghosts - if they do in fact exist, then it means there is some type of after-life/existence after death, in which case that would be a little reassuring.

Problem is it opens up a whole new level of apprehension.

If malevolent ghosts exist it means evil exists in the afterlife, which means there's probably some sort of hell/damnation thing going on.

And since I don't know how strict the rules are to qualify you to be damned, I find that a scarier prospect than peaceful nothingness.

...^ But aren't ghosts stuck between both worlds? isn't that why people are crept out by ghosts?

Could have something else to do with things like this that appear on our screens regularly?

When you are born you don't have a memory of existence.

At the end, however long it is, its the sadness that those memories are gone forever and so also is the opportunity to make new memories.

That's why death at any age is a devastating experience.

only in the movies dude, they are as real as the easter bunny. People are creeped out by ghosts because of scary childhood memories from the silver screen.

I often wonder this about myself too.
